A Tricky Trend Made Wearable: See How I Recreated Fall 2012's Baggy Chic Look For $78!

Paris Fashion Week was all about big silhouettes with matching loose tops and pants. For most of us (me included) the idea of having to wear baggy clothes when you're not a size 2 can be a little frightening.

My inspiration: Hermes, Celine and Stella McCartney fall 2012

For the last 48 hours, I've been on a mission to find a look that is sophisticated and "relaxed", yet still flattering.

The key to pulling off this look is to roll the pants and add high heels. The Forever21 trousers were originally ankle length, but I rolled them up higher to be more like capris. This elongated my legs and emphasized the boyfriend fit up top. The shoes are dainty and feminine which offsets the menswear feel of the outfit. The jacket is three sizes too big, but somehow - it works.

I never thought I'd say this but I am now a believer in baggy chic!

What do you think of my look? Would you ever try this trend? Are you a fan of boyfriend-fit jackets and/or pants? Tell me what your reaction is in the comments!
